Sales Policy

Step 1: Check and make sure you’re willing to travel the distance. I am located in Alexandria, Virginia.

Step 2: We require an interview, we can do it in person, or over the phone. Our top three questions, Who will be taking care of the rabbit? Are there any small children in the house? Do you have any predatory pets (cats, dogs, raccoons?) Once approved you’re allowed to place a reservation on the bunny of your choice. 

Step 3: The reservation locks your bunny of choice in for you so others can’t claim dibs on the bunny. This $50 fee also goes towards the total price of the bunny and is also non-refundable. However the reservation fee can be moved to a different bunny should you find one that is better match for you and your family.

Step 4: As the release date nears, contact me for a pick up time. The final payment must be made before or at the time of pick up. Currently I only accept Cash, Zelle and PayPal. Please do not forget to bring a carrier, we will not let them go home without one. We require photographic proof of a proper housing and correct food(3rd cutting timothy hay) before you can bring your baby bunny home. If your hay is coming in late we can sell you a large bag for $25 and it should last you the first 2-3 weeks. If you fail to arrange a pickup date by the time your bunny is 7 weeks old and ready to go home you will lose your reservation on them. If you need more time to set up your rabbits home, extensions can be given if you pay their payment in full by the time they 7 weeks old. 

NOTE: I reserve the right to cancel any sale or delay the release of any rabbit. Should I find the baby rabbit unfit to be released near the time of pickup, I will inform you and give you the option to have a refund of your purchase. Each kit develops at its own speed and I want to ensure my rabbits embark on the journey to their new home in the best possible shape. 

Price

The price of our bunnies range from $400 – $800. We are not a cheap rabbitry we spend hundreds of hours ensuring each of our bunnies are very extremely socialized and very healthy. If you pay a premium price for a rabbit you should expect a premium bunny. We can proudly say we have never had a bunny returned or a bunny die due to genetic disorders or pathogenetic diseases caused by improper diet/filthy living conditions. Beware places that ask for 50% deposit many virtual pet sellers are scammers.

Housing

These bunnies are born and raised indoors so if you’re planning to keep your bunnies outside (which I advise against for health, safety and emotional well being of the bunnies), these Cuddle Buns aren’t for you. We spend a lot of time and care of these bunnies creating a loving and safe home for them and will only feel good knowing they are going to their new home that is the same kind of environment.

Knowledge

Please do your research before deciding take a pet rabbit and certainly before you pick up your new pet bunny. Rabbits are exotic animals and are very different from owning a cat or dog. Here’s a great resource for information about rabbits. https://rabbit.org/. We are happy to answer any additional questions you may have.

Children

While rabbits may seem like an excellent way to teach your children responsibility they are not. They are intelligent, social, and emotional animals that require more care than young children may be able to provide. Rabbits are not like hamsters and mice, they require daily attention, monitoring, exercise and cleanliness. It is the responsibility of the parent to teach their children how to properly handle these delicate creatures. Failure to do so will result in tragedy and\or expensive medical bills. A rabbit is a family pet, not a child’s toy.

Other Pets

You must do your own research and evaluation to determine whether or not your current pet will accept a new rabbit in their home. You must provide a safe habitat or method of keeping your new bunny safe. Remember, rabbits are prey animals so they can scare easily and you don’t want to traumatize them by not carefully considering how to integrate them into your home with other pets, rabbits included.

If you plan to breed.

You must discuss with me if you are planning to breed our rabbit. We are an ethical rabbitry and do not support indoor or outdoor hutch breeding. We feel hutch breeding is cruel to the rabbits.

Note we currently do not offer pedigrees at this time.

You’re planning to bond.

If you are planning to bond your bunny to an existing rabbit at home you must notify me. Bonding is a complicated process and there are some bunnies that bond better than others. There is loads of bad information out there, I have come across many bad bunny match ups, in which one rabbit receives grievous wounds or the owners themselves. I can not in good conscience allow any of my bunnies to go into a potentially dangerous bond. We need to discuss the bonding process and come up with a plan for the health of both rabbits.

Under 18?

If you’re under 18 please provide proof of parental or guardian approval. How you get approval?

They can email me, they can call or text me, or they must be present with you at the time of pick up. Some places of residence do not approve of small animals, therefore it is important you discuss with your parent the process of bringing a new pet into your home.

What do my bunnies come with?

You also have access to me as your personal bunny resource guide. Should you have any questions, comments of concerns about their behavior or health you can contact me anytime of the day. I care about my bunnies health even long after they have left my home. We also even offer emergency services.

Health Guarantee

If your bunny were to perish suddenly it’s important we discover the cause of the death before offering a refund or replacement.  If the cause is genetic then we will gladly refund or replace your bunny. A necropsy should be preformed to discover the cause of death. Necropsies can be preformed by a qualified veterinarian. We also offer necropsies free of charge to our clients because we know they can be expensive (150-1000) and we want to know what happened to our bunnies. We want to prevent future families from feeling the pain and sorrow of losing their beloved campion. We have discovered these to be the leading cause of death…

#1 Gi Stasis related to obstruction. Baby bunnies chew everything, foam, rubber, plastic, fibers and fabric. The ingesting of these inedible objects will result in death occurring within 24 hours.  Unsupervised free roaming and improper housing is our #1 cause of death for our so far bunnies.

#2 Improper diet. Malnutrition and Gas/Bloat  Not feeding your bunny the right foods or over feeding them the wrong foods. Giving the wrong type hay or changing from the dietary plan we set up for you. If you do need to change it consult us first. We have a nutritional guide written to help you understand more about your bunnies unique dietary needs. READ IT. They are exotic pets its not as easy as just buying food off the pet store shelf.

#3 Traumatic injuries due to unsupervised Children. Baby bunnies are under a lb when they go home to you and while they make excellent and gentle pets. Children (of all ages) need to be taught how to be gentle with these animals. We have seen gentle 4 year olds and grabby 16 year olds, we feel it is more the parents responsibility to help guide their children on how to interact with these small animals.

Visitation

We allow visitors by appointment only, we are open most days of the week from 12-7pm. Contact me via cell or email to schedule your appointment.

We allow visitation to see and meet the bunnies. We take our time to educate you and your family on what bunny ownership is like and how to set up a proper habitat for them. We want you to be successful so we have a very open and honest/realistic approach when it comes to selling our bunnies. Your welcome to ask us anything about bunnies.
